Begin your adventure-packed day with a trek to the highest peak in Wayanad - Chembra Peak. The challenging trek takes about 3-4 hours but the stunning views of the heart-shaped lake and lush greenery make it worth it.
Cool off from your morning trek at Pookode Lake. This serene freshwater lake is surrounded by dense forests and has boating facilities. Take a stroll along the lake or go for a paddle boat ride to soak in the peaceful surroundings.
Explore the fascinating Edakkal Caves, which are believed to date back to the Neolithic era. The cave paintings and engravings on the walls are a marvel to behold. The climb up to the caves is steep but the panoramic views from the top make it worth the effort.
End your adventure-packed day at Banasura Sagar Dam, which is the largest earthen dam in India. Take a stroll along the dam and enjoy the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and lush greenery. If time permits, you can also go for a speedboat ride on the reservoir.
If you have time, consider visiting the Soochipara Falls, which is a beautiful three-tiered waterfall located about an hour's drive from Kalpetta. You can also consider a visit to the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, which is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including elephants, tigers, and leopards. To maximize your fun, make sure to pack comfortable shoes, sunscreen, and a hat. Also, carry a water bottle and light snacks for the trek. Happy adventuring!
